Ayumi Arihara is convinced that happiness starts with being loved, and she’s been waiting for the day a boy finally confesses to her. When that long-awaited moment arrives, it comes in the most unsettling form possible: a love letter from the imposing Misao Zaitsu, whose intensity leaves her more shaken than thrilled.

Overwhelmed and unsure how to respond, Ayumi ends up collapsing in class—only to be swept off to the infirmary in a princess carry by a kind, charming classmate. Her heart promptly latches onto her rescuer, until she discovers an awkward complication: he’s Mamoru, Misao’s younger brother. Caught between the confession she thought she wanted and the feelings she can’t ignore, Ayumi tries to figure out what love is supposed to look like, while her friends wrestle with their own messy, hopeful first romances.
